I was five years old when I first visited the dentist with my mother. While in the surgery my mother gave me one of the magazines to browse through to amuse or distract myself.
As I started looking at the pictures, I came across a picture of a mouth full of teeth. It was an open mouth with teeth everywhere. That really scared me and I still have goosebumps everytime I remember that picture as I do now.
Phobia: Odontophobia
Apparently if you can’t really stand and in fear of teeth, that is what is called odontophobia. The picture on the side really gives me the creeps.
